Kitchen tip Tuesday - Clean as you go
I had a hard time thinking of a tip today - I asked my husband for a kitchen tip to share - He said and I quote " Don't cook bacon while naked." I didn't ask if that was just speculation or if he had first hand knowledge LOL.
My tip today is to clean as you go - it makes perfect sense, but I am not always sensible :)
If I am cooking and I leave all the cleaning until the end - I usually just want to eat whatever was prepared and then relax - the last thing I want to do is wash dishes.
So now I try (try being the key word here :)) to clean as I go - I put ingredients away as soon as I have used them. I wash a dish as soon as I am done with it. There is always a spare minute here or there while waiting for something to saute or boil to wash a dish or two and it really doesn't seem like I am cleaning because I am still cooking - does that make sense?
And then at the end, there just isn't as much to clean up and life is so much easier!

Thanks for stopping by my blog, Kim! I like your blog, love your Kitchen Tip! It's one of my FEW "good habits" -- I actually do cleanup as I cook. Now if I could just do that in the rest of the house! LOL
